Methods for prioritizing data collection and for configuring a network node, network node, and operations, administration, and management system for configuring a network node

摘要

According to certain embodiments, a method (400) is provided by an operations, administration and management (oam) system (210) for configuring a network node (115) to prioritize data collection. A configuration (250) for collecting performance management (pm data) is passed to the network node. configuration (250) includes pm counters and priority information associated with at least one of the pm counters. each pm counter is associated with a parameter to be measured by the network node (115). A report of data collected by the network node (115) is received. The report includes data collected based on the configuration transmitted by the oam system (210) to the network node (115).
